> Pre-20th century, the music world in the West resembled the art world today. If you listened to professional music, were informed about the genre and attended performances, you were part of an elite class. Bullshit. There were massive outdoor concerts for public with no charge. Every tiny village had church with some sort of musical instruments. My ancestors (rural farmers) had (and still have) 300 years old music band... > Pessimists would say that fundamentally there is a finite universe of people interested in art, or that you must experience art in person to acquire a passion for it. Another bullshit. There is a huge number of street artists, from juggler to spray painters. Every kid wants to go to circus to see acrobats. And finally there is infinitive stream of movies, ads and others forms of art.
